Tyope placed a finger on his lips and shook his head. The shaman asked, "Sa uishe, what is it?" "Tzatze raua! Tzatze raua!" Tyope exclaimed in a low tone. "The Tehuas are sneaking about us like shutzuna. There are many of them, and they come up from the east. What shall we do, yaya? Speak." "Tzatze raua," the shaman repeated, shaking his head. "As you say, the Moshome come up behind us?"
Nobody asked where, but it was taken for granted that he had gone to see the old chief of the Delight Makers about the approaching days of penitential retirement. His mother was up; and she addressed her son in a pleasant manner, set food before him, and then inquired, "Sa uishe, who was the girl that danced by your side?" "It was Mitsha Koitza," Okoya replied without looking up.
On the other side of the ravine stood her own husband. He recognized her at once. They went together to the houses, where she lived for many years." He paused and looked at me, scanning my face to see the impression made by his tale. Then he continued, "You see now, sa uishe, how the scalp saved her to whom it belonged.
Don't you know, sister, that you are safe from them now, and that they cannot injure you any more?" Say Koitza shook her head gloomily and replied, pointing to her ear and eye, "Sanaya, what the ear hears and the eye sees, the heart must fain believe." "Then speak to me; tell me, sa uishe, what it is that your ear has heard, your eye has seen, that makes your heart so sad."
"I thank you, sa uishe, I thank you for myself and for my brethren here that you have put this question to us. But" the voice grew more steady and strong "you know that it is our duty to pray, to fast, and to watch, that peace may rule among the Zaashtesh and that nothing may disturb it.
"Sa uishe, has your father come?" "No," murmured the still dreaming child. "Where is Okoya?" "He has left." "Will he come again?" "Oh, yes," breathed Mitsha softly; then she turned over, sighed, and spoke no more. Hannay was happy. The boy would return! That was all she cared for. She really liked him, for he was so candid, so good, and so simple-minded.
He threw himself down on the floor. Shyuote nestled by his side, proud of being under his father's immediate protection. Zashue said to him, "Have you eaten, sa uishe?" "Not yet." "Why don't you feed Shyuote?" Zashue asked his wife. "Surely Okoya had his stomach full long ago, whereas this poor little frog here "
"But, sanaya," she asked, "how can they harm you and let me go free? Am I not as guilty as you? What you did, was it not for me, for my good? Why may I not go along if they send you to our mother at Shipapu?" "Hush, sa uishe," the other retorted. "Do not speak thus. I have led you to do things which those on high do not like, so I alone must suffer.
It was easy to recognize them as those of Mitsha, who was soundly, peacefully asleep. Hannay, as soon as she reached the floor of the apartment, called out, "Sa uishe!" No reply. "Sa uishe!" No answer. She groped about in the dark until her hands touched the sleeping form. She pulled the girl's dress and shook her by the arm until she sighed and moved, and then asked,
The glare of the fire illuminated her features, so that their expression became fully visible to him. Then she spoke softly, "Umo, have I not often said to you, 'Beware of Tyope'? Is it not so, sa uishe?" Okoya nodded affirmatively. "Can you suppose that I should feel easy at heart, if you go to the house where dwells the woman of that man?" Okoya trembled. This was a discouraging beginning.
